The Union minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, was speaking after handing over appointment letters to 200 successful candidates who got employment in government departments here.

Sonowal, who virtually joined the launching of Rozgar Mela by Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, Today is a historic day for the youth of the country as under the dynamic leadership of the Prime Minister, 75,000 youths of the country have joined the workforce.

The Prime Minister launched the "Rozgar Mela" on Saturday to recruit 10 lakh people across the country via video conferencing and more than 75,000 people were given appointment letters for various government jobs in the first tranche.
